Summer to-do list

Summer to-do list

summer to-do listWith summer in full swing I can’t help but anticipate on my upcoming activities that I have planned. I plan on taking a couple of vacations, getting to the beach as much as possible and for sure working on a tropical tan. I’ve complied a list of things that I want to do this summer with my family that will for sure make our bond even stronger.

1. Rent a mobile home, drive to Malibu and camp out for as long as I please.

2. Go out of the country.

3. Learn how to swim.

4. Go to an outdoor concert.

5. Read 3 new books and finish it.

6. Attempt to wear my hair in more natural styles

7. Figure out how to make a perfect mango cocktail

8. Take my husband on a picnic 

9. Try to master how to only pack the essentials for a trip

10. Live simple,  free and explore more.

depend on you!

depend on you!

Depend on you - Banana Republic White Button Down Shirt, 7 for all Mankind Denim, Gucci Heels, Givenchy ClutchI feel like at one point or another we will need someone in our lives to help us with something. It’s great when you have people that’s there for you and support you and your family, but it’s nothing like having your own and that is one of the lessons I try to instill in my daughters. 

I hate asking anyone to do anything for me and when they do I feel like I have to return the favor. It’s like you wash my back and I wash yours. I can never be a user or become someones friend with motives behind it. 

The worst part is when you ask someone for something and you are depending on it and they have you in the palm of their hands and then they flake on you. I’ve been in that situation before and thank God I was able to get out of it, but I vowed from that day forward to depend on myself. Someone can say they will do something for me and in the back of my head I know that if it doesn’t come through I got this. I can handle everything I need to do on my own, even if I have to pay someone or pay extra, me and my family will get and have what we need when we need it. Furthermore God always comes through for me. Always!

Make sure you save, take care of your credit, pay your car note/insurance and rent/mortgage on time and don’t use people. It’s nice to have a circle of people that’s there for you, but in the end depend on you because you will never disappoint yourself. xoxoDepend on you - Banana Republic White Button Down Shirt, 7 for all Mankind Denim, Gucci Heels, Givenchy Clutchimg_5182Depend on you - Banana Republic White Button Down Shirt, 7 for all Mankind Denim, Gucci Heels, Givenchy Clutchimg_5141Depend on you - Banana Republic White Button Down Shirt, 7 for all Mankind Denim, Gucci Heels, Givenchy Clutchimg_5129img_5124img_5185Took these pics last week.

Wearing - Hot pink blazer, white tank top, Rag & Bone jeans, Gucci heels, Chanel handbagThanks all of you for the kind emails about my last post. I know I need to write more and that’s the plan. Fashion is fun and nice but when I can help someone internally, that means so much more to me. Feel free to let me know if you have a topic you’d like me to talk about. Also, I’m turning my comments back on soon. I think it will help other bloggers showcase themselves since I always get asked about other fashion blogs I follow.  

I hope you guys have a fantastic weekend.Wearing - Hot pink blazer, white tank top, Rag & Bone jeans, Gucci heels, Chanel handbag Wearing - Hot pink blazer, white tank top, Rag & Bone jeans, Gucci heels, Chanel handbag Wearing - Hot pink blazer, white tank top, Rag & Bone jeans, Gucci heels, Chanel handbag img_5435 img_5440 img_5445 img_5448Wearing: Hot Pink Blazer, White Tank, Rag & Bone Jeans, Gucci Heels, Chanel Bag (alternative bags here).

I have realized that there are more not so nice than kind people in this world and I don’t think that I’ll ever get use to it. When you are kind and trying to be on the right track, you will be attacked from time to time. You can’t avoid it. The other day an acquaintance brought someone up that did something malicious to me. I know they may not have meant to bring it up, but it’s annoying and I hate to discuss those type of people. If you are my friend you know that. I might discuss the incident when it first happens, but then I completely move on. I don’t exchange views on people in my past that are out of my life. I don’t even want to bring them up. It puts your mind in a bad/sad place. But… that’s impossible so I’ve come up with a remedy that helps me get pass those moments. It also makes me feel better when someone ses or does something that makes me upset.  That way I won’t change my energy or mood towards others that had nothing to do with what’s going on with me.

First I say ” I don’t want to discuss that person.” Then I send them light, success, and love then I move on. They say you get what you put out so I never wish bad  upon anyone no matter what. I also have a mantra I use when someone is mean or something isn’t going right in my day.  It’s “no weapon formed against me shall prosper.” Some days I say it ten times and other days it’s twice but when I do say it I instantly feel better. Say it as many times as you need. Say it and move on.

Coming up with a mantra will uplift you when you are feeling down. We must address our dilemma’s and move on. Don’t let anything or anyone change your energy. Don’t give them the power over you, plus we need to be smiling and on point because we never know what the day may bring. You have to always be a light even when you don’t feel that way on the inside. That’s why saying the mantra in your head, helps you work on the inside. Our mind is very powerful so that’s why we must train it.

You can be anything you really want to be. What I know for sure is the number one rule that keeps things working out no matter what is when you share kindness. Pay attention to what impact you are making in the world. That in it self will make you feel better knowing that great things will always come no matter how bad they may get or seem.  xoxo

Throwback Thursday - Sweater, 7 for all man kind denim, Jimmy Choo Heels, LV Bag

It’s been chilly for the past few days so I decided to find a throwback of what I wore previously in the month of May. I wanted to start this series because I forget that I have great pieces like this sweater. I also started looking back for inspiration when I feel down and don’t want to get dressed. The weather affects mood sometimes. xoxoThrowback Thursday - Sweater, 7 for all man kind denim, Jimmy Choo Heels, LV BagWearing: Alternative sweater here, 7 for all man kind denim, Jimmy Choo Heels, LV Bag.
